![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | E100-17: Exodus 3-4: Getting the holy between your toes! - Dr Tim Bulkeley What matters, what really matters, is getting the holy between our toes. In this reading we discover Moses getting on first name terms wiuth God, and what (perhaps) God's name means. This is "holy ground" even compared to most other parts of the Bible, so take your shoes off, and listen. No, God's name yhwh does not just mean the 'One who is' and it for sure does not mean "Don't ask, because I won't tell you!" but to find out what more I think it means listen in ;) Keywords: exodus; narrative; biblical studies; theology; God; Yahweh; name of God Downloads: 23 |
![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | E100-16: Exodus 1-2: Naming names - Dr Tim Bulkeley In reading (by which I mean understanding, making sense of) these chapters weâll find that noticing unusual details, things that stick out, can be a real clue to what is important. Naming, and not naming, are really significant here, not least that God is not named â oh, Godâs talked about, but âGodâ is a title or description not a name, this âGodâ will get a name in the next chapter⦠Here, too, well find that hearing echoes of other parts of Scripture can be strong clues to meaning...

![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | Arguing with God: Jer 12:1-4 - Tim Bulkeley In What is the Bible (Part 1) I talked of the Bible as witness, and mentioned stories where Abraham and Amos haggle with God, and ended with a reference to arguing with God in the Bible. Here I'll begin to explore Jeremiahâs side of the conversation from Jer 12:1-4 (we'll get to God's reply later!) Keywords: Arguing with God; Complaint; Genre; bible Downloads: 10 |
![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | E100-10: Genesis 32-33: God-fighters - Tim Bulkeley Another of the most mysterious and difficult stories in the Bible, this time not difficult because the subject pains us, but difficult to understand. We Westerners are hung up on "understanding", sometimes it is better to "stand under" (and learn from) than to understand ;) This may be one of them! If we try to understand the story of Jacob's fight we quickly get a headache, nothing quite works of provides all the answers... Keywords: Arguing with God; E100; Genesis Downloads: 106 |
![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | Complaint Psalms: Part One - Tim Bulkeley This post starts to talk about Psalm 22, mentioning Job 10 on the way, we will examine these passages as a way into understanding "complaint psalms". Complaints are the commonest type of psalm in the book of psalms. You might like to listen to my earlier post "Arguing with God: Jer 12:1-4" first, it sets the scene for this one, and should probably have been called "Complaint psalms: Part One"! I hope the next post - in a few days - will follow up looking some more at Psalm 22. Keywords: Arguing with God; Complaint; Job; Psalms; lament; biblical studies Downloads: 20 |

![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | E100-89: 2 Timothy 3:10 - 4:8: Scripture - Dr Tim Bulkeley This passage, which begins and ends with Paul's suffering, centres on Scripture. It contains the verse which in Evangelical circles is probably the second best known (after John 3:16) Bible reference of all (more rightly it should be two verses, since one cannot understand 2 Tim 3:16 without the purpose declared in 2 Tim 3:17). 2 Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture - is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that those who belong to God may be thoroughly equippe...
